Convert System.Array to string[]

I have a System.Array that I need to convert to string[]. Is there a better way to do this than just looping through the array, calling ToString on each element, and saving to a string[]? The problem is I don't necessarily know the type of the elements until runtime.

c# .net arrays system.array

How about using LINQ?

string[] foo = someObjectArray.OfType<object>().Select(o => o.ToString()).ToArray();
